I took the seat beside Sarah, "Colton! This is my friend Lizzy" Sarah introduced me to the guy on her right. "Nice to meet you Lizzy," he nods "same" "I'm Reynolds" the guy sitting across me says. "And this black ass nigga is Martin" Reynolds laughs pointing to the guy at the end. Geraldine sat between them but I didn't spare her a second glance, "let's order" Colton smiles. I'm guessing his the one Sarah's in to, then Martin for Geraldine that leaves me Reynolds. Which takes my gaze back to the guy, he had brown hair stopping below his ears. His eyes were hazel, a mixture of brown and green and he's wearing a black suit pants and white button down without a blazer or jacket. Which gave off the vibes he didn't wear suit often, a few buttons of his white t-shirt were open revealing a slightly hairy chest. His brown hair was messy but in a cute way, all in all his was handsome but I was not interested. It seemed when I was checking Reynolds out someone signaled the waiter over. I picked up my menu quickly to skim through, "what may I get you guys?" Too late I'll just order whatever. They called out their order and I listened in on Sarah's and repeated the same thing then the waiter left. "Sorry for this but you look alot like...I mean are you Elizabeth Morgan?" Colton stutters. I raised my brows wondering why he would be nervous to ask me that. "Yes I'm her" I chuckled, Martin breaks away from his conversation with Geraldine. "Did you say you're Dr Morgan's daughter?" "Yes," "fuck!" He whispers but I caught on. "Is something wrong?" Sarah questioned their weird behaviors, "no you're really humble Lizzy" Reynolds smiles "thanks?" Okay I know my father is successful but they are acting like his a god or something. I've never really being interested in knowing how much wealth my father has but this guys have me curious now. "What do you guys do?" I changed the topic from my father, "I'm an engineering student in NYC" Colton puffs his chest out, "okay? Reynolds what about you?" "I'm actually aspiring to be a lawyer," "really!". "You sound shocked" he laughs but I could tell he was curious, "yeah! I mean you look like a guy who doesn't like wearing suit". "I don't," "his an idiot ignore him" Martin swats his head and we all chuckled. They engaged me in numerous discussions until the waiter returned. It didn't skip my knowledge that all three boys were suddenly interested in me and Sarah was doing little to hide her annoyance. Geraldine just looked glad to be freed from a conversation with Martin, seems things weren't going well there. While eating Sarah finally decided she had enough, "Lizzy needs to leave early, her family are traveling tomorrow very early, right Lizzy?" She turns to me. I bit my lips to hide my smile nodding, I would be offended if I cared for any of the boys but I don't. "Oh! Too bad," "we can meet up some other time I guess," I shrug, not waiting to finish the meal I stood up. "Let me pay for the inconveniences," "no I can't allow that" Colton smiles, "okay" I smiled. It's not like I enjoy spending my father's money. "I should probably walk you to your car" Reynolds makes to stand up, " no don't worry I'm walking her" Geraldine stood stopping him. Frowning I picked up my clutch from the table waving them goodbye, "goodnight and it was nice to meet you guys". When I finally reached my car I turned to face her heads on, "what do you want?!" "I deserve that" she chuckles, tilling my head to the side in utter seriousness she gets the memo. "I just wanted to apologize Liz I screwed up but think from my shoes, picture Ethan in that position". "My brother will never disrespect a woman don't make that example" my voice came out harsher than intended. "Gabriel struggled with addiction in highschool," "I'm aware Geraldine and that was a long time ago you yourself said he was okay so that doesn't justify his actions". "He relapsed Liz," "are you saying they were drugs in my party?" she nods, "how?" God how could I let that happen. "Oliver!" "Oliver King my ex?" "Yes Gabe said he was the one who gave him drugs". "Fuck! I'm sorry he had to go through that," Gabriel's addiction was weird, it made him hate himself and feel unworthy, we tried to help him as much as we could then therapy finally did the trick and he was this happy kid again. "I met him crying in his room Liz, he couldn't believe he said those things to you, he's sorry and wants to apologize". "I can't right now it's too fresh but I understand tell him not to beat himself too much about it". "Are we... are we good?" She looks away, instead of gracing her with a reply I hugged her. We are sisters Gera,you hurt me but I get it, Gabriel is your brother,no Lizzy it won't happen again,you and Sarah mean more to me than anyone can even including my parents I was just shocked. I'm good Gera but I really need to go and tell Sarah she owes me for that dismissal. Gera laughs watching climb into my car, waving I pull out the driveway unto the road.
Young miss! Claire jumps from her spot on the kitchen stool,relax I'm just here for a late dinner. I'll make you something,is there nothing left from dinner? There is should I microwave it? Yes please and if it's not much trouble bring it to my room. Ofcourse it's my job she smiles before heading to the freezer, chuckling I head to my room. Mom and dad must have retired to bed,I still haven't told the girls about the duplex I think I'm still in denial. Staring aimlessly at my laptop I wait for William to pick up, deciding to facetime him before the trip tomorrow. Hey! He calls out,he was still in his suit, looking at the background I felt like it was still the office. Will it's 20minutes til nine how are you still working?! Well someone decided to go on a vacation leaving me to do all the work he smirks,I'm sorry but seriously go home. I will,so tell me about your date? Nothing important but I have a surprise! You're squeaking what? He laughs,my parents got me a duplex in London for my birthday! Wow! Yeah I'm still so shocked,that's amazing Belle I'm sure you deserve it though,thanks I blush looking away from the laptop. Claire walks in placing the trail on my bed beside me,she glanced at the screen briefly before leaving. Who's she? Our maid I place the trail on my leg,she's young,no you're just too old I joke. 29 isn't old belle he rolls his eyes, you'll be thirty in six months that's old. Will you be here for my birthday? Yes the semester doesn't start till June I say sadly,the thought that I will have to leave at some point wasn't nice. Don't pout Belle we have time almost a year,well let's make the most of it I smile,we will promise.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
